Production of 342.5 kg/hr Ethylene
by dehydration of Ethanol using
0.5%Lanthanum and 2%
Phosphorous modified HZSM-5
catalyst
Scope of project
■ Ethylene is the most essential organic compound in the world
Major industrial uses of ethylene are as follows:
■ Polyvinyl chloride (PVC)
■ Polyethylene
■ Polyethylene terpthalate
■ Ethylene glycol
■ Detergents and surfactants
■ Polystyrene
■ Plasticizers
■ Explosives
■ Sulfur mustard gas
